It may be Of interest to readers to
learn something Of the process of landing
and discharging an immigrant at Castle
Garden. After the steamship has been
inspected the steerage passengers are
placed, with their baggage, on barge
and taken direct to the garden. Here
the baggage is transferred to the baggage
room and the passengers are sent to the
rOtunda, where they areregistered. Then
they are given instructions in their re-
spective home tongues regarding the de-
partnre of trains and such other matters
as directly affect them. A short time is
is now afforded those who wish to leave
at once for out of town to purchase their
tickets. This having been done, the re
manning portion of the arrivals are sep
arated from the rest and the licensed
boarding house keepers are allowed into
the rotunda to solicit business. Those
who engage board are then given a
chance to leave. Those who are expect
ing friends wait until call for them il
received, and others, who have no friends
nor any settled plans for the immediate
future, are allowed to remain in the
building over night. These people sleep

own bedding. Those who are sick or
destitute are removed to the temporary
hospital to await transportation to Wards
island, whence they are discharged to re-
main in the city or sent back to Europe
upon the return of the steamships which
brought them here, depending entirely
upon their ability to care for themselves
and avoid becoming public charges
Those immigrants who are able to care
for themselves, but want some sort of
employment and have no friends to se-
cure it for them, are provided for by the
labor bureau. In speaking of the opera
tions of this department Mr.. Connolly
said that female immigrants are and al
ways have been at great premium.
He has large number of applicants for
servants in excess of the supply, About
100 ladies visit the bureau daily looking
for servants, besides great number of
applications which come by mail from
every part of the Union. With the men
employment is not always SO easily OBJ
tanned, especially at this season of the
year, when outdoor work is not generally
engaged in. Still most of the inmi-
grants are provided with places without
much difficulty. Last year the bureau
provided employment for over 10000
persons.-New York Graphic.

ROW Tnnls Jewesres pres..

The costume of the Jewesses of Tunis
is striking and peculiar. The first time
saw one standing at the door of the house
I thought she had just got up and had
forgotten to dress herself before appear
ing in public. They wear tight, short
chemises, reaching only to the hips;
wooden sandals, fastened to the feet by q
single strap across the toes, and very
small, comical caps, called "kufias. :
The bottoms of their feet, the palms Of
their hands and the tips Of their fingers
are stained a yellowish brown with
henna, and their nails are stained black.
The kufia is of some bright color and
heavily embroidered with gold and silver.
The rest of their apparel is of silk and OF
the brightest colors. When they go out
into the streets they sometimes put on a
hailx and bright colored greaves, with
gold or silver embroidery.
They are all inordinately fat, purposely
made so by a system of diet. They look
like ballet girls who have escaped from
the theatre in costume. The dress of the
little girls is the same, except that it is
all white. They are generally pretty,
and some of them, with regular features,
Ianguishing black eyes, clear olive COM
plexions and dark curling tresses hanging
over their neck and shoulders. are per-
feet beauties. They lose their beauty
and become coarse soon after the fatten-
ing process begins, which is usually at
the age of 12.-Boston Advertiser.

Handshaking is an obsolete custom in
London drawing rooms, and for somo
time past it has been the fashion not to
introduce persons. The proper form Of
acknowledging an introduction when
made is for the lady to give the least nod
of the head to the left and not in front,
as used to be the old, graceful style. In
this country, where it has become tho
fashion TO extend these customs, the

the summer was ended he had learned
to aim as correctly with one eye as he
used to with two, and had again re-
covered his plumpness.
The toad's tongue usually puts
things down his throat so nicely that
he does not need much power of swal-
lowing; but he occasionally needs it,
and is forced to make up by mother
wit what is lacking in the powers Of
his throat. You will observe this in
his efforts to take grasshopper or To-
Gust. A toad will sometimes attack
an object that is really too large for
him to get into his mouth. Thus l
have seen one attempt huge cater
pillar of sphynx, and have known
of one undertaking wounded hum
ming bird. In this case it was q per-
feet failure. But when a toad has
transferred the head of large locust
to his stomach and finds the hind legs
and tail protruding from his mouth he
usually turns to the nearest stone or
fence and pushes the grasshopper's
legs against the obstacle until he has
rammed it into his mouth. 1t would
seem from this that his stomach is
capable of considerable menchanical
extension withoutsgiving pain. And
were his stomach not somewhat in
sensible he would be neither capable
of enduring the long fasts to which he
must sometimes submit nor of indulg-
ing with impunity in the feasting and
overeating which we sometimes OBJ
serve in him. Boston Globe.

The AlIigator,s Meal.

An observer down South says an
alligator's throat is an animated
sewer. Everything which lodges in
his open mouth goes down. He is
lazy dog, and instead of hunting for
something to eat, he let's his victuals
hunt for him. That is, he lies with
his great mouth open, apparently
dead, like the possum. Soon bug
crawls into it, then a fly, then several
gnats and a colony Of mosquitoes.
The alligator doesn't close his
mouth yet. He is waiting for
a whole drove of things. He
does his eating by wholesale. A little
later lizard will cool himself under
the shade of the upper jaw. Then a
few frogs will hop mp to catch the
mosquitoes. Then more mosquitoes
and gnats will light on the frogs.
Finally whole village OF insects and
reptiles settle down for an afternoon
picnic. Then all at once there is an
earthquake. The big jaw falls, the
alligator blinks one eye, gulps down
the entire menagerie and opens his
great front door again for more visit

Taking Opium.
Boston Herald.

1t is important to remember that
medicines can be repeated, but, when
once given, they are difficult to recall.
In all cases, therefore, it is far better
to give too small doses than too large,
and especially is this true in the use
of all opiates. The question naturally
suggests itself, what form of
opium is the most efficacious :?
If all its preparations are
honestly made, there is practically
little, if any, difference in choice.
The drug is expensive and adultera-
ton is grievously common. Pills of
opium. containing one grain each, or
granules of morphia, each one-eighth
of grain, are convenient, and if
coated with sugar or gelatine they
change little or none by keeping. To
promote sleep in short fevers, charac-
terized by high temperature, Dover's
powder, the dose of which is
10 grains, is the most commonly
used. The dose of laudanum, 25 drops,
can be easily graduated, and the same
may be said OF parcgoric, which con-
tains camphor combined with opium.
Inc UNION Vi lItSc TWO uTugS lHteIiSl-
fies in a measure, the action of both,
and two teaspoonfuls of paregoric, Of
standard strength and reliable manu-
facture, may be considered perfectly
safe dose for an adult. Whatever
preparation of opium is in use, it
should be clearly labelled,
and laudanum especially ought
to be, also, marked poison.
That there is great danger of becom-
ing dependent upon the uses of mar
cotics must not be forgotten. The
opium habit, especially, is SO easily
acquired, so difficult to overcome, and
entails such abject misery and utter
destruction, the greatest care should
be taken to avoid it. Let opiates be
used if needed, but the necessity
should be absolute to warrant their
employment, and not single dose is
allowable after it becomes evident the
cause for which they are being given
is being removed.
